All of you who plan to attend the Zurich Show should also try to visit the extraordinary dinosaur museum in nearby Aathal. This museum was created by Kirby Siber and is, in my opinion, the very best such museum in the world. Most of the dinosaurs and many of the other fossils exhibited there were dug (collected) by Kirby himself. For the mineral collectors there is also a superb collection of gold specimens in the office building across the street from the museum. This really is one of the finest yet least known museums that you could ever hope to visit, well worth the effort.
